How Alumni Support Works
Our Goal
Any student who graduates with their high school diploma from a Bright Star school is considered alumni and becomes a member of the Bright Star Schools Alumni Support & College Success (ASCS) program for up to 6 years.
The ASCS Program tracks and provides explicit guidance to alumni in ensuring they get to and through higher education.
We Work With Our Alumni
At Bright Star Schools, our goal is post-secondary success for every Bright Star alumni
We work with our alumni to identify a higher education pathway that will help them accomplish their goals, and then support them on their journey to graduation.

- Higher education counseling, coaching, and skill-building

- Providing intensive transfer support from community colleges to four-year universities
- Financial aid application and budgeting assistance
